Guan Tingna, who graduated from Beijing Film Academy with a major in film and television makeup, started her career as a makeup artist in Dalian. Her love for beauty flashes in her eyes, and her hands delicately depict it on the actor's face.
Her insistence on beauty stems from her childhood, and her mother always likes to dress her up, making her a little star in the neighborhood.
As a film and television makeup artist, she has been interested in skin care and makeup since she was a child, which is why she finally chose to major in film and television makeup instead of the acting department that her parents expected.
Although she often needs to follow the crew, Guan Tingna always has an optimistic and cheerful attitude, and her skills are very good, and she has achieved a certain reputation in the circle soon after.
In 2004, the wheel of fate quietly turned. The crew of "Ma Dashuai", directed and acted by Zhao Benshan, selected Guan Tingna to play the small role of the hotel foreman. She panicked and refused to act: "I can only make up, not film!" However, Zhao Benshan's words changed the trajectory of her life: "You have all gone to school in Beiying, what are you afraid of?" ”
Guan Tingna stood in front of the camera with apprehension. Although she has no experience in filming, under Zhao Benshan's patient teaching, Guan Tingna quickly adapted to work in front of the camera.
Her performance was unexpectedly good, and her eyes were full of enthusiasm and talent for acting.
After this unexpected experience, Guan Tingna successfully transformed from an unknown makeup artist to a contracted actor of Benshan Media, and since then she has entered the actor industry and started her wonderful and controversial acting career.
Looking back on this experience, Guan Tingna always sighs at the wonder of fate. She recalled that when she was a child, she was praised for "being a big star when she grows up", and no one thought that fate would let her embark on this path.
Although the future is full of unknowns, at this moment, she is already looking forward to the new life she is about to start.
In 2010, the TV series "Country Love" starring Zhao Benshan ushered in the production of the third part. In order to give the character "Wang Dana" a curious emotional line, the crew has the role of "Yang Xiaoyan".
This character is set as a middle-aged young woman with a child, full of mature beauty, which is impossible to ignore but surprisingly, this role was finally filled by Guan Tingna, who was only in her 20s at the time.
When she received this role, Guan Tingna was both excited and apprehensive. She knew that the role was a huge challenge for herself and required her to completely change her image. In order to meet the requirements of the role, Guan Tingna made a series of preparations.
She bought a lot of mature style clothes, changed her dressing style, and more importantly, she also went to live in the countryside for a period of time, carefully observing the words and deeds of local women.
When Guan Tingna appeared on the set as "Yang Xiaoyan", everyone was amazed. Her performance was unexpected, and she successfully interpreted the concept of "charm remains". Her eyes are full of the charm of a mature woman, and her gestures have both the delicacy of returning from Shanghai and the simplicity of rural people.
However, as the popularity of "Country Love" continues to rise, Guan Tingna has gradually become the focus of public attention. It's a pity that people's eyes are not on her acting skills, but on the absolute difference between the two, paying too much attention to her figure.
Netizens joked that as soon as Guan Tingna appeared, everyone stopped watching the plot and only cared about her figure.
In this way, Guan Tingna has been acting in "Country Love" for 13 years and has become Zhao Benshan's "queen wife". Although she was recognized for her performance, it also caused a lot of controversy, especially in the TV series "Country Love 8", she wrapped a bath towel and Zhao Benshan in a seductive scene, which caused heated discussions in the outside world.
Guan Tingna's feelings are very complicated, she is happy with her success, but she has to deal with the outside world's doubts and criticism. Some people speculate that she received special care from Zhao Benshan, while others think that she was favored by Zhao Benshan because of her superior physical condition.
These gossips have become the biggest problem in her acting career, and they also reveal a microcosm of the sad status quo in the entertainment industry.
Despite the difficulties, Guan Tingna did not give up. She continues to work hard to portray the role of "Yang Xiaoyan", hoping to let the audience see her strength through her performance, not just her appearance.
With the hit of the TV series "Country Love", actor Guan Tingna's popularity has increased rapidly. However, she was also plagued by a lot of doubts and rumors. Many people seem to only focus on her figure and downplay her superb acting skills.
Whenever Guan Tingna's figure appears, there will be a heated discussion on the Internet, with some accusing her of becoming famous only by her figure, and others questioning her relationship with Zhao Benshan, the director of the show.
Guan Tingna deeply felt the trickiness of these remarks, and stabbed her heart fiercely. She didn't understand that she worked diligently and put 100% effort into playing the role, but in exchange for such criticism, it really made her feel cold.
Due to the spread of the Internet, these doubts are no longer limited to the Internet, and even the circle is full of gossip against her, which makes Guan Tingna feel a deep helplessness.
Once, Guan Tingna followed Zhao Benshan to participate in Guo Degang's show. In the relaxed and happy self-introduction session, a joke of "having a heart" attracted laughter from the scene. Although Guan Tingna forced a smile in front of the audience, her heart was full of grievances and shame.
She knew very well that these people were making fun of her figure, that she was just a weak woman and that she should not be treated like this.
Last year, a comedian named Jiaojiao publicly fell out with Zhao Benshan on the Internet, and some netizens seized the opportunity to ask about the relationship between Guan Tingna and Zhao Benshan, and Jiaojiao only replied with five words "true story".
Although he did not name names, this response undoubtedly put all relevant people on the hot search.
In the face of overwhelming rumors, Guan Tingna did not choose to respond, but chose to remain silent. Guan Tingna doesn't want to use these rumors to hype herself, she prefers to prove her strength with practical actions.
However, when the scandal fermented to a certain extent, Guan Tingna had to respond publicly in a live broadcast: "The relationship between me and Teacher Benshan is innocent."
Guan Tingna's eyes are firm and her voice is calm, but she can still make people feel her determination. She is very grateful for the opportunities that Zhao Benshan has brought her, but she hopes that everyone can see her efforts and progress.
However, even so, there are some skeptical voices.
Recently, when Guan Tingna went to the live broadcast room of "Xie Guangkun" actor Tang Jianjun, she encountered an unpleasant thing. Although she was wearing a plain white shirt and black pants, she was teased by the cautious audience.
The comments that flowed out of the live broadcast room were not very friendly, and even Tang Jianjun had some transgressions, hugging Guan Tingna tightly when singing, and his face was on her shoulder.
Guan Tingna's experience reflects a cruel reality in the entertainment industry: female artists are often simplified and objectified. Their talents and efforts are easily overlooked, and instead excessive attention is paid to their appearance and figure.
This is inherently disrespectful to the individual and a sad disrespect for the industry as a whole.
Although Kwan Tingna is in the midst of controversy, she has not given up on her acting career. She seized every opportunity and tried to challenge herself and get rid of her stereotype.
In 2013, Guan Tingna participated in "Cherry Red" starring Song Xiaobao and Xiao Shenyang. In this TV series, she tried different roles from "Country Love" for the first time, aiming to show her acting skills more comprehensively.
The next year, she collaborated with Song Xiaobao again in the play "A Man Wants to Marry at Forty". In this drama, Guan Tingna tried some large-scale scenes for the first time, which was a big challenge for her, but she also hoped to prove that she was not just a figure actor.
However, these attempts did not have the desired effect. On the contrary, those large-scale scenes have become the new focus of people's discussions. Some good deeds made an inventory of Guan Tingna and found that no matter what kind of play she played or what type of clothes she wore, she seemed to be deliberately showing her figure.
This comment made Guan Tingna feel very frustrated. She fell into deep self-doubt: did she really only have a figure? Is your acting skills really worthless?
However, Guan Tingna was not defeated. She began to focus more on each role and injected more emotion and detail into her performances. She also tried to change her style of dressing and stop wearing controversial clothes.
Guan Tingna is paying silently, but she hasn't received too much attention. However, she did not give up because of this, because she knew that only by constantly improving herself could she truly win the respect of the public.
Her eyes are full of determination, as if to tell everyone: I am not just an actor with "sexual characteristics", I have more shining points worthy of being discovered by you.
From "Ma Dashuai" to the present, Guan Tingna's life has undergone tremendous changes. Among the many actors in Benshan Media, she is the only artist who has been acting steadily for more than ten years and has never reported any negative news.
She is diligent, meticulous, and constantly improving, and has proved her worth with practical actions.
Although many people still question her, Guan Tingna insists on her acting dream. She believes that as long as she continues to work hard, someone will one day see her progress in her acting skills, and not just focus on her figure.
The problems encountered by Guan Tingna are not an isolated case, and many female artists in the entertainment industry also suffer from similar difficulties. Their talents and efforts are often overlooked, and the focus is always on appearance and figure.
Liu Yan's experience is a typical example. Because of her hot body and sexy image, she has suffered too much malice on her body. In 2016, she was involved in an uncomfortable "bridesmaid incident".
At a wedding, Liu Yan, as a bridesmaid, was forcibly lifted into the pool by a group of so-called friends in the circle despite her panic and struggle, which caused a huge controversy after being photographed and posted on the Internet.
Liu Yan tearfully said in the show, "Everyone always thinks she wears a swimsuit on the street", this sentence is the common voice of many female artists, no matter how hard they try, it is difficult to take off the label of "sexy".
Even a first-line big-name star like Yang Mi can't avoid the fate of being objectified. Once, when she was cautious at a fashion event for fear of going light, she was still ridiculed by some people, accusing her of "Isn't it just to look like this?" ”
In the extremely popular episode of the show, when actor Li Chen played a game of guessing people's names, he actually drew a circle on his chest and shouted "the most one", which is undoubtedly hinting at the female Liu Yan.
Such a public ridicule fully shows that the objectification of women's bodies in the entertainment industry has reached an astonishing level.
These examples show the general prejudice against women in the entertainment industry and even in society. Female artists seem to be trapped in a paradox: showing themselves is given the meaning of grandstanding, and being cautious and conservative is questioned as pretentious.
Their talents and dedication are often underestimated or ignored, replaced by an excessive focus and judgment on their appearance.
The situation of Guan Tingna, Liu Yan, Yang Mi and others reveals a cruel reality in the entertainment industry: female artists are often simplified and objectified. The talent and hard work of female employees are often overlooked, and people tend to pay more attention to their appearance and figure, which is not only disrespectful to women but also sad for the industry as a whole.
In the face of many doubts and criticism, Guan Tingna chose to stick to the future. Now 40 years old, her love for acting has not diminished at all. Although she has not yet entered the palace of marriage, she still has the expectation of a happy life.
In a movie that filmed the role of a pregnant woman, Guan Tingna also took a photo and touched her belly and said that this is the most beautiful moment for a woman, from which it is not difficult to see her desire for family.
In addition to work, Guan Tingna will take her mother on trips. She cherishes every role and strives to change her image. In recent years, she has stopped wearing clothes that accentuate her figure, hoping that the audience will pay more attention to her acting skills than her appearance.
Guan Tingna's experience reflects some problems in the entertainment industry, which requires us to re-examine the evaluation criteria for female artists. An actor's value should not be based solely on his appearance, but should be a comprehensive evaluation of his talent, hard work, and moral integrity.
At the same time, it is also a wake-up call to society as a whole. We need to work to create an environment that is fairer and more respectful for women. Everyone should have the right to pursue their dreams without being treated unfairly because of their gender or appearance.
For Guan Tingna, her future path is still full of challenges, but her persistence and hard work will undoubtedly become a role model for many people. Her story teaches us that even in the face of doubts and criticism, we must persevere and keep improving.
As far as the entertainment industry as a whole is concerned, Guan Tingna's experience should be a mirror that triggers us to reflect on the existing evaluation system and values. Only by truly respecting every artist and paying attention to their talent and hard work can the entertainment industry develop healthily and attract more talented people to join.
